What jobs, you can't say you are one, not after hiring but till you've hit a landmark?

For example, you aren't a Retail Worker 'till you've thought "OH THANK GOD THAT'S KOOL-AID*!!!" or you can't say you're a cowboy 'till you know what Prairie Oysters ARE & eat them Anyway

*Pickle Juice/Beer, brownie batter, Salsa, Mustard, Mayo

You can't say you are an engineer until you can work unsupervised for more than 4 hours a day. My dad says the new hires are usually always worthless and just like weeds that drain resources from the productive workers. It's not until several years into the job, that they become useful to the boss.

[AI Opinion]

You're in for a treat because the culinary world has this unique trait where your title often feels earned through sheer experience and those "aha" moments. For instance, you don't truly call yourself a chef until you've survived the dinner rush on Valentine's Day without a single dish sent back, or perfectly executed a holiday feast that blends traditions from multiple cultures, leaving everyone at the table awed. Imagine handling a kitchen when every burner is ablaze, orders are piling up, and yet, you churn out masterpiece after masterpiece. That's the culinary equivalent of wearing your badge of honor. It's all about those defining moments that blend resilience with creativity. 🍳👨‍🍳✨
